There is so much to be said about Klein Sandfontein Judge(now 8.5 yrs old). Few would argue that this amazing dog has made a positive impact on the Boerboel breed for years to come. For over 6.5 yrs Judge held the title of Highest SABBS Linear Appraisal score in the world of 93.4% from April 2017 – April 2023, and was later outscored by his great granddaughter, his daughter, and later by our own Black Iron Bentley! Judge was the highest appraised SABBS linear male globally for 7.5 yrs until Bentley outscored him in 2024. In September 2018, he also won Senior Champion Male, Grand Champion Male, and Dog of the Day at the 2018 Fall USA SABBS Show during the Boerboel Expo. However, his purpose here is as a farm and family dog and not a show dog. Judge is my personal protector, and my heart dog❤️. I imported him over from South Africa as a puppy in 2016, and this dog has held a huge piece of my heart ever since. My kids refer to him as my favorite child, lol.
He is a large and substantial male at 29.5”, typically weighing in at 195-200 lbs. He puts a whole new spin on PRESENCE even at his correct age He is a dog that looks right thru you. He is sound in all public environments, but is by no means a push over. He takes his job of guarding very seriously as many can attest. The bone, front and shoulders on this guy can’t be captured in photos. He is a completely different looking dog in person, and is a very dominant producer of these traits.
In addition to his amazing temperament and structure, Judge has PERFECT health scores which put him straight into the elite SABBS Stud Register at just 14 months of age. He passes on all of these traits to his many offspring.
His first litter hit the ground in July 2017, and we are truly blessed with what he has produced not only for our program, but for the Boerboel breed. His full impact will be known in the years to come. He adds significant bone, substance, his signature chest/shoulders/rear end and angulation, as well as his fabulous temperament onto his offspring. Judge is a fast natural breeder, and unlike many in this breed he has maintained phenomenal fertility and is producing big healthy litters at 8.5 yrs old. He is a proven producer of very good health scores. Judge is a dominant producer…regardless of what he is bred too. Today, you will find him in the pedigrees of many of the top scoring dogs in the breed. The pictures below reflect him at different stages of development.
NOTE: Judge’s Optimal Selection Genetics Report is available via the NABBA Pedigree link (to be renamed soon). The report covers testing for 150+ genetic diseases and more than 20 traits including coat colors, coat types, and morphology.
Our passion is genetics, our love is for the dogs, and our goal is to produce puppies of exceptional quality both mentally and physically. We are typically seasonal breeders with 95% of our babies being born in the late Fall/Winter months.
